Title: Method for estimating elastic parameters through inversion of 4D seismic measures
Inventor: THORE PIERRE
IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 2011-07-19
Abstract: In accordance with the 4D seismic technique, a base seismic trace is measured at a first time in a region of the subsoil, and then a monitor seismic trace corresponding to the base seismic trace is measured at a second time. To interpret the 4D measurements, assumptions are made about the variation of elastic parameters in permeable layers at predefined positions in one direction between the first and the second time. Elastic parameters include the density (Ï  ) and the speed of propagation of te pressure waves (V P) in the permeable layers. Numerical evaluation is performed for a capability of each assumption about the variation of elastic parameters to give an account of a change between the measured base seismic trace and the measured monitor seismic trace, and the variation of the elastic parameters is estimated in accordance with an assumption of optimum capability.

Title: Sample carrier for dried biological samples
Inventor: ZHANG XIN
IPC: G01N33/96
Filed: 2013-03-04
Abstract: Described is a biological sample carrier based on a rigid hydrophilic object fabricated from a non-absorbing inert porous material. A biological fluid sample applied to the surface of the object is absorbed into the pores and constituents of the biological fluid sample remain in the pores after drying. Unlike a disc punched from a conventional dried blood spot (DBS) card, the object is easily handled. In contrast to DBS cards containing glass fiber structures that interact with basic analytes and other DBS card having adsorbing fibers that tend to separate blood constituents as the sample spreads through the fibers, the biological sample carrier is substantially inert to drug analytes.

Title: File distribution by multicast
Inventor: KRISTER KONST
IPC: H04N21/845
Filed: 2016-06-08
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of multicast transmission of a plurality of data files via satellite communications. Each data file is fragmented into a plurality of segments. A source computer system 106 receives a plurality of data transmission requests from respective remote computer systems 105. Each data transmission request identifies one or more data file segments. The source computer systems assigns a priority to each requested segment. The priority is assigned based on the number of received requests identifying that segment. The requested data segments are transmitted using multicast satellite communications in priority order. Initially, the source computer system sends a message to each remote computer containing both identification data, ID, and a data element for each available data file. Each data element is dependent on data from the segments of its data file, e.g. in the form of a concatenation of checksums or hashes for each segment. The remote nodes use the data elements to determine segments which they have not yet received and must request. The requests are made via satellite.
